Summary

Australian star Jason Moloney is a former world bantamweight champion who has become a darling in Japan and is one of the most-liked guys in the sport.

You can see why, as he reflects on his decorated amateur and professional careers, his incredible relationship with his twin Andrew, making it big from Australia and the huge nights he's boxed on, from taking on Naoya Inoue in Las Vegas, to boxing inside the Tokyo Dome, and on huge bills at home.

Jason says why he's not ready to retire just yet, what he still hopes to achieve and looks back on an incredible career structured around determination, ambition, willpower – and being immensely likeable.
